Counter Culture Coffee Washington, DC

We cupped 3 coffees in the DCTC on Friday…

13 people cupped, and Los Luchadores won the favorites vote!

We began with Finca El Puente and dove right into some lovely fragrances and aromas:  caramel, vanilla, chocolate and earth.  The taste was sweet chocolate with nuts and it finished with a nice clean floral note.

Next up was Los Luchadores.  This coffee was beautiful today with lots of sweetness, some orange on the nose and a round body that satisfied all parts of the mouth in the aftertaste.

Finally, we tasted the Shakisso Natural.  This coffee had 2 diehard fans, 2 folks who couldn’t stand it, and about 6 who could take it or leave it…Such is the life of a natural coffee I guess!  The folks who loved it really enjoyed the blueberries and honey, the sweet milk chocolate, the full body, and the tobacco aftertaste.

Thanks to all who cupped with us!
